NVIDIA CUDA 2.2 SDK Available

NVIDIA has released the new version of the CUDA, the SDK for GPU Computing. You can download the SDK here: CUDA Download @ NVIDIA.

New features of CUDA 2.2:

Visual Profiler for the GPU: The CUDA Visual Profiler is a graphical tool that enables the profiling of C applications running on the GPU.

Improved OpenGL Interop: Delivers improved performance for Medical Imaging and other OpenGL applications running on Quadro GPUs when computing with CUDA and rendering OpenGL graphics functions are performed on different GPUs.

Hardware Debugger for the GPU: Developers can now use a hardware level debugger on CUDA-enabled GPUs that offers the simplicity of the popular open-source GDB debugger yet enables a developer to easily debug a program that is running 1000s of threads on the GPU.

Exclusive Device Mode: This system configuration option allows an application to get exclusive use of a GPU, guaranteeing that 100% of the processing power and memory of the GPU will be dedicated to that application. Multiple applications can still be run concurrently on the system, but only one application can make use of each GPU at a time.
